Cardiff Blues Head Coach Dai Young said mistakes in the first twenty minutes had made a hard task impossible for his team.

"We did not help ourselves by giving tries away from turnovers, but after that the players stood up and showed commitment and attitude," he admitted. "This defeat will add to their determination to improve as players, our youngsters will benefit from this experience.

"The first three tries were from individual errors, but Leicester were very strong in most areas of the field, their scrum and lineout are probably the best in Britain and possibly the best in Europe.

"They were pretty much at full strength while we were missing some Lions and had players out there who were playing for Cardiff and Pontypridd a few weeks ago."
